The art works in Whose Stories? raise questions about how historical narratives are constructed and told. It asks: What experiences are excluded? Whose voices are silenced and marginalized and how can those voices be heard? How can we add our own voices and help to transform our future? Can we help to create an inclusive, more truthful history that restores human rights and dignity?
Whose Stories? explores how we perceive ourselves in relation to world events, and how we take into account the experiences of others. The work of this diverse group of artists encourages dialogue about new possibilities for co-existence by offering space to re-think our assumptions about the world.
In addition to the curriculum connections we have identified below, you can expect your students to leave with a basic understanding of empathy and resiliency in relation to human suffering, change, and facing life challenges.
